Webcast starts soon! Intel Webcast Event page stated "The webcast launch link will become available on this page 60 minutes prior to each event's start time will feature a countdown to the event start.", let's stay tuned & enjoy!Reply

This was my original question in the first 3700 article at this site--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Did I miss something?

With 1:1 mapping, this this sounds like the Worlds first truly O.S. agnostic controller

Does it require an O.S. with Trim or a partition offset for XP use, or did Intel just make the Worlds first universal SSD?

The 320 may have handled partition offsets internally but still required Trim for best performance

Please correct me if I'm wrong--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The readers all basically told me I was wrong in the first article, however.....

The webcast made it clear that Trim is no longer required

If Intel kept the partition offset fix in firmware or if that offset fix is implemented at some point, this IS the worlds first truly Universal SSD that does not require a specific O.S. to run optimally

So Anand, did Intel just create the Worlds first Truly Universal SSD with this or did they drop the partition offset fix that was used on some earlier Intell SSD's

What I mean is, can this be used with ANY O.S. and still get optimal performance without ANY tweaks of any kind?Reply

I was disappointed that the fork in the road, SSD one way and Flash Appliance the other wasn't addressed. Granted, AT likely can't afford a Sun 5100, but if Intel (and others) ignores the appliance threat... Reply

And too late, but as always I wonder about data retention. The dark secret that seems to be swept under the rug. Are early adopters going to wake up in a few years with their data corrupted or just gone?Reply
